The first thing we did was turn in our Football Field Vectors lab which was done in class the day before. We also retrieved the Unit Vector Notation Worksheet and the Vector Computer Simulation (p. 9 in the lab manuel) from our folders. Next Ms. Coats-Haan checked our homework from the night before (p. 23 #32-34, 40- 43, in the physics textbook) and then passed out the answer sheet.
In class, we did the Unit Vector Treasure Hunt on Main Street. Each table was given a set of vectors and a starting point on Main St. and had to navigate their way to their treasure which was a picture of a treasure chest taped to the wall somewhere. Upon finding the treasure, each group member was awarded a dum dum of their choice.
We were assigned homework which was a Vectors Graphic Organizer. There is also a test scheduled for Tuesday involving: the unit circle, Bernoulli's Principle, and vectors.
Question of the Day: What is the most efficient way to use what you learned in class to find your "treasure"?
The most efficient way to find the treasure was to add up all of the vectors into one vector. You could then seperate that into two directions of either north, east, south, or west. This was much easier to measure and more accurate than trying to walk off each individual vector of odd angles.
